Don't Fall For Second Rate Film.

While many in the industry have given up on quality Carpet Protector for better margins, Pro Tect's believes quality comes first.

We were in the custom home business before the carpet protection film industry. We understand the demands and the type of customer you have to please. The last thing you need to worry about is Carpet Protection Film not working.

Can You Install Carpet Protector by Hand?

Pro Tect gets asked a lot, "Do I need to buy the Carpet Protector Dispenser in order to use your Carpet Adhesive Film?" While we would love to sell a Carpet Protection Dispenser with every roll, it just isn't practical. Our Carpet Protection Film comes reverse wound, simply get it started and roll it out. Does it take longer to install without a Carpet Film Dispenser? Yes, but if you are only getting a couple rolls and don't see yourself using the carpet film over and over, then save yourself some money.

Carpet Protection Film Installed with a Carpet Film Dispenser:

If you plan on using the Carpet Protection on multiple jobs, the Carpet Film Dispenser is a must have. It will cut your install time in half, so you can spend your time on other projects. The Carpet Protection Dispenser is a multi-size dispenser and there are two main sizes:

The smaller Carpet Film Dispenser will fit our 24", 30" and 36" widths and both the 200' and 500' lengths.

The next size fits 36", 48" and 60" widths and both the 200' and 500' lengths.

Why Pro Tect Carpet Protection Film?

It's really is simple: we will put our quality up against any other Carpet Protector in the market. Carpet Protection stays down from edge to edge. Most films release and when you come back the next day it is floating on the carpet and not protecting it. Our price might be a buck or two more, but the quality is second to none. We would love to do business with you, not once but for a lifetime. We come from the high-end home building business, and cutting corners never saved us money. Give us a try.

Which Size Dispenser Should I Buy?

If you see yourself using the small widths (24", 30", 36"), the small carpet film dispenser is the one to get. However, if you do jobs from small remodels to large commercial/hotel jobs the large carpet film dispenser is most likely the one to go with. Both dispensers fit the 36" rolls.

Step-by-Step Guides To Applying Carpet Protection and Using A Dispenser

Protecting a home during construction and remodeling is critically important. The last thing you want to do is damage the home you’re trying to improve!

There are two ways to apply carpet protection to a stairway:

By hand

By using a carpet film dispenser

Our guides will show you how to protect your stairs by applying film by hand, as well as with a dispenser. It also includes instructions on loading a roll on a dispenser and basic dispenser use.

Do I Need A Carpet Film Dispenser?

Carpet film dispensers, although not required, certainly make the job easier. Operating a carpet film dispenser is smoother and faster than applying film by hand, but depending on the size of your area it may not be necessary for your needs.

Consider a using a carpet film dispenser if you:

Have a large area of flooring that needs protection

Experience back, hip, knee, or other joint problems that make manual labor difficult

Have upcoming projects that also require a dispenser in the future

Need to complete the job quickly

Carpet Protection Dispenser Assembly Video & Guide

Sizing and Assembly

The first step is to determine the size you need for your rolls of film protection. The dispenser pictured below fits 24”, 30”, and 36” rolls. There are also larger dispensers available with 36”, 48”, and 60” rolls.
The dispenser comes with three different poles to correspond with the different sizes of film rolls.

The main piece of the dispenser has three holes: 24”, 30”, and 36”.

Step 1: Slide the end piece into the main piece

Take the end piece and slide it into the main piece by pushing the pin down.

When you reach the correctly sized hole for your film roll, release the pin to lock the pieces in place.

Step 2: Repeat with the other end piece on the opposite side

Take the other end piece and slide it into the main piece on the opposite side by pushing the pin down.

Note: Do not adjust to the exact size of the roll until the roll is in place. Leave room to attach the roll in the next few steps.

Step 3: Attach one end of the pole

Attach one end of the pole in between the end pieces by placing the pole end over the wheel.

Step 4: Put the film roll into place

Stand the dispenser up on one end so it is vertical. This will make it easier to add the film roll.

Next, put the film roll into place opposite the pole.

Remember: Make sure the sticky side of the film is up and the edge is pointing the way you want to go.

Step 5: Lock the pole and film roll into place

Push the pin in to release the end piece and slide it down to the appropriate size.

Position the pole and film roll over the wheels and push into place.

Reattach the end piece by snapping the pin into the hole. This will secure the pole, film roll, and main pieces of the device into place.

Step 6: Attach the handle to the dispenser

Attach the handle to the center of the dispenser.

Congratulations! You’ve just assembled your carpet protection dispenser. Next we’ll take a quick look at how to use the dispenser and get rolling!

How To Use the Carpet Protection Dispenser

Step 1: Get the film roll started

Pull the film out and back over the pole.

Position the dispenser so the film is beneath the roller, sticky side down.

Step 2: Roll the film

Move the dispenser forward by pushing the handle to roll out the film.

Step 3: Cut the film

When you are finished with one section, you can use the metal pole roller as a base to make a straight, even cut.

You are then free to reposition the dispenser to continue applying the film to the next section.

Step 4: Repeat as necessary

Continue the process until you have applied protection to the entire area needed.

Carpet Film Installation Down Stairs by Hand

Step 1: Start at the top of the stairs and press the film into place

Leave about a foot of base material at the top to work with.

Step 2: Pull the carpet protection down about the length of two stairs

It’s important not to press yet at this stage. At this point, you are simply rolling out enough material to cover the surface space.

Step 3: Cut the film on the first step and press it into place

Cut the film to fit the first step, and press it into place. Be sure to apply pressure into the nook of the step, so the material can adhere to the shape of the stair.

Step 4: Repeat the process down the rest of the stairs

Continue slowly down the stairs. Measure the length needed, cut the material, and press it into place. Repeat the process until you reach the last stair.

Step 5: Cut the film at the bottom of the stairs to finish

When you reach the bottom of the stairs, make the final cut and press the material into place.

Step 6: You may want to work your way back up the stairs pressing and smoothing the film to ensure it is completely

Applying Carpet Protection Down Stairs Using Dispenser

Step 1: Start at the top of the stairs and press the film into place.

Leave about a foot of base material at the top to work with.

When using a dispenser, be sure to position yourself on the downside of the stairs when you roll out the film. This way, you can apply more body strength and protect yourself from falling.

Step 2: Pull the carpet protection down the length of the first stair and press into the corner

Apply pressure while pulling the material down into the corner.

Step 3: Extend the carpet protection across the top of the second stair and repeat.

Still applying pressure, pull the film out of the corner, across the surface, to the edge of the next stair. From here, you are positioned to continue pulling the material down the length of the next stair, and repeating the process until you reach the bottom of the stairwell.

Step 4: Repeat the process down the rest of the stairs

Continue to press the film into place as you go.

Step 5: Use the dispenser as a base to cut the film when you are finished at the bottom of the stairs

The dispenser makes a nice cutting edge to finish applying the material.

Again, to ensure that the film is down, it is best to go back up the stairs to smooth and press the film into place.

Conclusion

Whether you apply carpet protection by hand or with a dispenser, the important thing is you are taking the right precautions to prevent damage to your carpet.

Just follow four simple steps:

Start at the top and press the film into place

Extend the material to cover the next stair (if applying by hand, cut material for each stair as you go)

Repeat the process down the rest of the stairs

Cut the film at the bottom of the stairs to finish.
